Attawapiskat weather forecast

Here it is, straight from the Environment Canada website:


Tonight




Partly cloudy. 40 percent chance of flurries this evening. Wind up to 15 km/h. Low minus 20. Wind chill minus 28.


Friday




A mix of sun and cloud. Wind becoming west 30 km/h in the morning. High minus 15. Wind chill minus 31.


Friday night




A few clouds. Wind west 30 km/h becoming light early in the evening. Low minus 23. Wind chill minus 32.


Saturday




Sunny. High minus 16

Whoa, a high of minus 16 on Saturday? Those tent-bound natives are on the threshold of a veritable heat-wave!

A week ago the Attawapiskat scandal was on front pages around the world. Isn't on those front pages anymore, is it? Been replaced by "aging carpet-bagger bags Republican lead" and "Merkozy saves Euro again" and "Putin punked".

So do you think in the past week those bureaucrats managed to put up habitable homes for the two thousand human beings who call Attiwapiskat home?

Or do you think the scandal has outlasted our attention span?
